The eastern shoreline of the Salton Sea dominates this 2015 survey, where the water's edge meets a narrow strip of development along the desert floor. The small community of Salton and the residential clusters at Salton Beach and Betz Beach are concentrated between the high-water line and the rising inland topography. A distinct transition from the aquatic basin to the arid landscape is visible where the Desert Air Sky Ranch sits near the base of the surrounding hills. This survey illustrates the precise boundary line shared by Riverside and Imperial Counties, which cuts directly through the northern portion of the sea. Local infrastructure is minimal, defined by a few named thoroughfares like Sea Breeze Dr and Line Rd that provide access to this isolated lakeside stretch.
